MSNBC news anchor Thomas Robert : GOP candidates wish they could go back to the days when "slavery was cool"?
Wow, did you all know that once upon a time "slavery was cool"? Seriously, can MSNBC still be classified as a news operation? I don't watch MSNBC for obvious reasons. I actually value the sources where I get my content from, but how can any person with somewhat reasonable intelligence continue to believe the insane rhetoric that is transmitted from MSNBC? MSNBC news anchor Thomas Robert who is an actual news anchor for MSNBC was interviewing a guest yesterday, and the topic was about Thursday night's GOP debate hosted by Google and Fox News. I've come to notice about progressives over the years is that the more they try to sound intelligent, the more they end up coming across as being absolutely ignorant and unhinged yet blissfully self contained in it.
During the two hour debate, maybe Mr. Thomas and his guest didn't realize that a black man and woman were actually in the debate. A black man "Herman Cain" and a woman "Michelle Bachmann" are running for the Republican nomination. I've watched every debate so far, and I have to ask this simple question,
"What beliefs or stances on legislation would have anyone believe that the GOP candidates for president would want to build a time machine and go back to the days when blacks were slaves and woman couldn't vote"?
I keep hearing the term "right wing extremists" from the left, but look where the extremist and kooky rhetoric always seem to come from. It's coming from the network of Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews and other radical progressives. If Robert and others believe that the GOP candidates are racists and sexists, why did MSNBC host the GOP debate a few weeks ago? Robert talked about ridiculous comments by the GOP candidates, of course he never gave any examples to validate his remark, but he should take a good long look in the mirror himself.

Tyrone, sometimes Liberal White's "over contexualize" what they view as racist intentions. I cant be absolutely sure about Thomas Roberts intent, although I will say, he say's such things basically for the shock value.
That being said, what Robert should say (which is something you pretend not to see) is that racist fringe elements do exist within the GOP. However, as I've said many times before, it's unfair to broad brush the entire GOP as racist. Yet those in the GOP who say they don't recognize the racist elements are either naive, potentially implicit or silently complicit.
CB;"I've come to notice about progressives over the years is that the more they try to sound intelligent, the more they end up coming across as being absolutely ignorant and unhinged yet blissfully self contained in it".
That all depends on what you want to hear....
Case in point- I remember when an actor by the name of Morgan Freeman made public statements, and efforts concerning the state of race relations in this country. Many of those on the right "praised" him for his statements and efforts, including you Tyrone;
from July 2010.
"Morgan Freeman is AWESOME!!!!! I will do a story on that video sometime next week.He flat out embarrassed Mike Wallace. That is what happens when common sense meets liberalism. Liberalism loses every time".
Okay, he's "AWESOME!!!!!!!"
The other day on the Piers Morgan show, Freeman had this to say;
The Tea Party is Rasict.
The point is, that's something that you "don't want to hear." Yet, it's coming from someone you think is "AWESOME!!!!!"
Mind you, I never attacked Freemans statements, such as, his not believing in African Ameerican History Month. As a matter of fact, I applauded his efforts for integrating a high school prom in Mississippi. Yet his recent statement shows that he's not blind to reality.
I truly hope that Freeman is not attacked as being radical and unjust. Also, albeit not for me to tell you or no one else what to think, I would hope that the decent and sane thinking folks within the GOP and Tea Party speak out and denouce the fringe racist elements that are poisoning the ranks. The first step is to stop denying that the racist are there, and that they do exist.

Keep making excuses allen. It wasn't about shock value. He and his guest believed what they were saying period. I thought news anchors are suppose to simply report the news not give "shock value" as you said. Then again, it is MSNBC.

First you said it wasn't racist but merely shock value, now you are saying it was about race? What end is your tail spinning so you can chase it allen? He didn't say anything about the GOP allen, he talked about the CANDIDATES positions. Re watch the video and listen again.I never said that racist elements doesn't exist in the GOP, it's progressives who claim that those same racist elements doesn't exist in the Democratic Party allen. When was the last time you hear Democrats talking about the racists within their ranks? Please tell me. You say it is unfair that the GOP is broad brushed as racists yet progressives continue to do it everyday and all the while pretend that they are all full of racial harmony and kumbaya.
As for Morgan Freeman. He was right on one topic that I agree with him on, but he is dead wrong on the topic of the party. Hopefully that clarifies things. Matter of fact I will go into greater detail about Morgan Freeman hopefully by tomorrow or Monday. I read what he said, and he is as wrong as two left shoes on the topic.
CB;"First you said it wasn't racist but merely shock value, now you are saying it was about race? What end is your tail spinning so you can chase it allen?".
What part of "not the entire GOP/Tea Party" but some, dont you understand Tyrone? If I tell you that I dont like milk mixed with beer, it doesnt mean I dont like milk, or beer! I like them both, but i just don't mix them...
I've said time and time again that, THERE ARE "RACIST ELEMENTS" THAT HAVE INFILTRATED THE PARTY. I'VE MADE IT CLEAR SEVERAL TIMES THAT i DON'T BELIEVE THE "ENTIRE" TEA PARTY IS RACIST. Check your facts Tyrone.
It wouldn't surprise me that Al Sharpton, an employee of MSNBC would turn his nose up at Thomas Robert for that statement.
For years Sharpton has attacked those like Don Imus, Kelly Tilgman who made black jokes and were fired or suspended.
So, how's this any different? Sharpton is an employee of MSNBC and cannot afford to lose his job.

Liberal whites think they are the only ones knowing what is and isn't racism. Too funny.
